Whooping cough is caused by the Bordetella pertussis bacteria. It is transmitted through respiratory droplets from coughing or sneezing, and sometimes through contact with clothes or toys. Early symptoms resemble a common cold with sneezing, runny nose, and slight fever. Later, uncontrolled bouts of coughing occur with a characteristic "whooping" sound between coughs. Treatment involves antibiotics like azithromycin or erythromycin for 5-7 days. Other supportive treatments include steam inhalation, paracetamol, fluids, and rest. Vaccinations against whooping cough are recommended for babies and children through the DTaP vaccine.

Down syndrome in child
Down syndrome (DS) is a genetic condition caused by an extra chromosome 21. It causes delays in physical and intellectual development. The document defines DS, discusses its etiology and pathophysiology, risk factors, clinical manifestations, diagnostic tests, treatments, nursing management, nursing diagnoses and interventions, and prevention and education strategies. The primary goals in managing DS are to address delays, prevent complications, promote independence, and connect families to support and educational resources.
Down Syndrome 1
Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by a third copy of chromosome 21. It is associated with physical growth delays and distinctive facial features. People with Down syndrome typically have mild to moderate intellectual disabilities, with an average IQ of around 50. While Down syndrome is not caused by environmental factors or a parent's genetics, it can be identified during pregnancy through screening and testing. Individuals with Down syndrome often require regular health checks as they are at greater risk for health problems and have reduced life expectancy compared to the general population.
Having a Child with Down syndrome
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21. It causes some physical characteristics like low muscle tone and an upward slant to the eyes. Early intervention through therapies can help children with Down syndrome develop skills to lay a foundation for future progress. While individuals with Down syndrome learn at different rates, educational and therapeutic interventions from a young age can greatly benefit them. With support, people with Down syndrome can achieve varied goals and roles.
Down syndrome - Child Health Nursing, M.Sc(N)
Down syndrome is a genetic condition caused by the presence of an extra chromosome 21. It causes delays in physical and intellectual development. The majority of cases are caused by nondisjunction during cell division resulting in 47 total chromosomes rather than the usual 46. Clinical manifestations include mild to moderate intellectual disability, delayed development, congenital heart defects, vision and hearing problems, and increased risk of infections. Nursing care focuses on monitoring for complications, promoting development, and educating families on managing care.
Down syndrome
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of an extra full or partial copy of chromosome 21. It is characterized by intellectual disabilities, distinctive facial features, and often other health issues. While there is no cure for Down syndrome, early intervention programs can help children with Down syndrome achieve their potential. The degree of intellectual disability varies widely but most have mild to moderate disability.

Down syndrome
Down syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21. This additional genetic material alters development and causes characteristic physical traits like low muscle tone, small stature, and a single deep crease in the palm. Early intervention through therapies can help children with Down syndrome achieve basic skills and lay a foundation for future progress, as delays are common in areas like physical, cognitive, language, and social development. Education requires careful consideration and supports, though with interventions people with Down syndrome can learn at their own pace and have varied goals and roles.
Down Syndrome Child
The document provides an overview of Down syndrome, including its history, types, physical characteristics, diagnosis, informing parents, and caring for an affected child. It discusses John Langdon Down's initial description in 1866 and the recognition as a genetic disorder in 1959. It covers the three types of trisomy 21, translocation, and mosaicism. Key physical signs include a flat face, slanted eyes, small ears and hands/feet. Parents should be informed clearly using understandable language and focusing on positive aspects while avoiding strict prognosis. Acceptance, stimulation, social integration and support are important for caring for a child with Down syndrome.

Yasmine Biady presented on ringworm and diabetes. Ringworm symptoms can include itchy, irritated skin and rashes. It commonly affects young children and incidence is estimated around 3-5% of populations in some countries. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas cannot produce insulin and has genetic and environmental causes. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body does not use insulin properly and can be prevented through healthy lifestyle choices. Resources on ringworm and diabetes were also provided.
Diseases case studies
Influenza is caused by a virus that infects cells and often mutates, so immunity to one strain does not protect against others. It is transmitted through direct contact, contaminated objects, or inhaled aerosols. Symptoms include fever, body aches, headache, and cough. Treatment focuses on symptom relief and there are now three licensed antiviral treatments in the UK. Prevention includes an annual flu vaccine tailored to the strains expected to cause epidemics that year. Anorexia nervosa has unclear causes but links to anxiety, unhappiness, and low self-esteem. Symptoms include extreme weight loss and medical complications. Treatment involves hospitalization for refeeding and behavioral therapy to address emotional issues.

Tetanus is caused by toxins produced by the Clostridium tetani bacteria entering the body through wounds. It causes painful muscle spasms and can be fatal if untreated. Immunization through vaccines like DTaP can prevent tetanus. While once common, reported tetanus cases and deaths are now very low in Australia due to widespread immunization.
Parkinson's disease is caused by the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the substantia nigra region of the brain. It causes movement-related symptoms like tremors and rigidity. While its causes are unknown, it tends to affect older individuals. Treatment focuses on replacing lost dopamine or controlling symptoms, but cannot stop the progression of neuronal
3 infectious and non-infectious diseases ppt
This document summarizes information about two diseases: tetanus and Parkinson's disease. Tetanus is caused by toxins produced by the Clostridium tetani bacteria entering the body through wounds. It causes painful muscle spasms and can be fatal if untreated. Vaccines provide effective prevention. Parkinson's disease results from the loss of dopamine-producing neurons in the brain. Its characteristic symptoms include tremors, slow movement, and rigid facial expressions. While its causes are unknown, treatments aim to replace dopamine or reduce symptoms. Both diseases disproportionately impact older populations.

Tetanus is caused by bacteria that enters the body through open wounds and produces toxins affecting the nervous system. It causes stiffness of the jaw and muscles. While it can affect anyone, it is more common in areas without immunization. Treatment involves antibiotics, antitoxins, and in severe cases mechanical ventilation. Prevention is through vaccination and prophylaxis for open wounds.
Alzheimer's disease causes brain cells to die faster than normal aging. Genetic factors play a role in some rare early-onset cases. Symptoms include memory loss, confusion, problems with language and spatial skills. While there is no cure, treatments can help manage symptoms. Prevention may involve antioxidants but more research is needed as the causes are

Case study
The Red Kangaroo is the largest living marsupial in Australia. It evolved adaptations like different types of milk production and hopping to survive in arid environments as Australia's climate changed. The introduction of livestock and agriculture by Europeans further increased the Red Kangaroo's habitat and food sources, causing its population to grow. Its red fur color also provides camouflage in the red Australian soil, demonstrating natural selection pressures. Overall, the environmental changes led to macroevolutionary changes in the Red Kangaroo over a long period of time.
Ddt and mosquitoes
Mosquitoes like Anopheles gambiae and Anopheles stephensi were targeted with DDT to reduce malaria. Initially DDT killed mosquitoes but they eventually evolved resistance and their populations recovered. The use of DDT also harmed other animals through bioaccumulation, though it was thought to not harm humans. This environmental change put selective pressure on mosquitoes that developed resistance, causing micro-evolution within the species.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
Esta publicação só está disponível em inglês até o momento.
